Disconnect the prop shaft coupling from the trans and see if it spins easier. If so, you have an alignment issue. If it does not, it is most likely the cutless bearing, next would be a bent shaft.
That was my next step before hauling. If it does spin easier, I feel like I can adjust with the vibe absorbers to get the alignment.
With that said, I read this post on small engine vee drives and it concerned me about alignment from the cutlass to the log. http://www.marineengine.com/boat-forum/showthread.php?385426-V-Drive-Engine-Alignment-Tips
Thoughts?
